  • Publication number: 20240009023
    Abstract: A fluid collection device may include a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body in some examples. The fluid permeable body and fluid impermeable barrier may be manufactured and/or assembled by a variety of techniques. In some examples, the fluid permeable body may be extruded and automatically cut to a desired length. In some examples, a tube of a support may be bonded to a strip of material to form the fluid permeable body. In some examples, a conduit may be automatically cut to length. In some examples, a conduit may be placed at a rear of a chamber of the fluid impermeable barrier. In some examples, the fluid impermeable barrier may include a channel to accept the conduit. In some examples, the fluid impermeable barrier may be formed by multiple injection molded components coupled together.

  • Publication number: 20230312196
    Abstract: A beverage can with an ingredient chamber for storing functional ingredients separately from a base beverage until the beverage can is opened by a consumer. The ingredient chamber may be disposed on a can end of the beverage can. The ingredient chamber may be broken open to release functional ingredients automatically when the beverage can is opened by the consumer. In some embodiments, the ingredient chamber includes a membrane that forms a sealed cavity. In some embodiments, the ingredient chamber includes a deformed cavity of the can end.

  • Publication number: 20230263655
    Abstract: A fluid collection device may include a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body in some examples. The fluid impermeable barrier includes an inner surface at least partially defining a chamber. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines an opening to the chamber extending longitudinally along the fluid impermeable barrier. The chamber may be configured to accept a fluid permeable body. The fluid permeable body may be at least partially exposed by the opening defined by the fluid impermeable barrier and configured to wick fluid from a surface of the fluid permeable body into the chamber. In some examples, the fluid permeable body may include a fluid permeable membrane and a fluid permeable support. In some examples, the fluid permeable membrane may be omitted. In some examples, the fluid permeable support may include at least a portion that is not fluid permeable.

  • Publication number: 20220172549
    Abstract: A vending machine includes a housing defining a product storage compartment for storing products. The housing of the vending machine includes a delivery portal and a front portion having a transparent panel configured to allow a consumer to view the products within the product storage compartment. A row of products is arranged within the product storage compartment. A proximity sensor is arranged within the product storage compartment and corresponds to the row of products. The proximity sensor is configured to detect a hand of a consumer within a predetermined detection distance of the proximity sensor, and a product in the row of products is selected when the hand of the consumer is detected within the predetermined detection distance of the proximity sensor. The vending machine includes a dispensing mechanism configured to convey the selected product to the delivery portal.

  • Publication number: 20220062029
    Abstract: A fluid collection device may include a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body in some examples. In some examples, the fluid collection device may be primarily designed for use with female wearers but may be used with both male and female wearers with the use of an adapter and/or an attachment apparatus. In some examples, the fluid collection device may include shape memory materials that permit the fluid collection device to conform to a variety of anatomy types. In some examples, the fluid collection device may include customizable or predesigned contoured fluid permeable body to accommodate a variety of anatomy.
